Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

@GtHawk

The one thing that is essential when you start to get old is a sense of humor about yourself.

Don't ask me how I know this. I don't want to embarrass any neighbors.

LOL! Nah... I know I don't hear it right... I don't remember now what she really said, but I got to hear my sainted mother tell my sister to go piss up a pipe... Of course those words would never enter her mind, not to mention leaving her tongue. But it still brings a giggle every time I think about it.

My sister heard 'In Purple Patootie' instead of 'in perpetuity' one time... That still cracks us both up. Now I use it all the time.

MY mother and all of my friends parents are in the same age group (Over 85), and every single one of them has lost ALL of their filters. My mother is constantly saying things I would have got my mouth washed out with soap for, or grounded for a month. and then when you say something to them they reply, "Well it's  true."

Know the drill. Several years ago  I was adjusting the pantry cabinets in my inlaws kitchen before floor remodeling, and my near blind and crippled Alzheimer mother in law, lumbered over to me and starting whacking me with her cane. Get up she yelled, you are not going to die on my clean floors.

Not much old wimmins love more than shocking their children and grandchildren. The grandchildren seem to handle it better than the children,though. Younger people and seniors seen ti have a better comic sense for the outrageous than middle-aged people.

The sad thing is that no one considered them offensive then, but people have found ever more creative ways to be offended..

Curiously, not Florida Man. Pittsburgh man.
Quote
The man suspected of gunning down a mail carrier Thursday in Collier told investigators he believed the carrier had poisoned him, according to charges filed in federal court.

Eric Kortz, 53, of Pittsburgh, is charged with murder of an employee of the United States and possession of a firearm, court records show. ...

The complaint, filed by U.S. Postal Inspector Erik Bohin, said Kortz told investigators that he shot Vignone because he believed Vignone and his family had poisoned Kortz and his family with cyanide.

The complaint said Kortz told police that he and Vignone used to be neighbors.

According to investigators, Kortz said he was familiar with Vignone’s mail route and drove to where he was on Suburban Avenue to “put some bullets in him.” ...

Man plunges nine stories from NJ high-rise, lands on BMW — and survives

A man plunged nine stories from a high-rise in Jersey City, New Jersey, landed on a BMW — and miraculously survived, according to officials and a witness.

The 31-year-old  crashed through the roof of the black Beemer 330i parked below 26 Journal Square at 10:20 a.m. Wednesday, then stood up with his right arm  dangling at his side  and asked, “What happened?” onlooker Christina Smith, 21, told The Post. ...

She quickly called 911, then took jaw-dropping photos and videos of the aftermath, including graphic footage of the man screaming in pain with upper body injuries. The video also shows a face mask strap still dangling from the guy’s ear, despite falling roughly 100 feet.

According to one onlooker, the man popped up with a broken arm and asked, “What happened?”

The man, who jumped from an open window on the ninth floor, was rushed to a hospital by ambulance and was in critical condition Thursday, said Jersey City spokeswoman Kimberly Wallace-Scalcione. ...
Scott Adams, creator of Dilbert, speculated on Twitter the fellow's mask is what saved him.   :laugh:

Being a decades long owner of a prostate, and not be of the Buttjigger persuasion, I can state categorically that never once did I received pleasure or enjoyment during a prostate exam  **nononono* **nononono* :

I think it's racist, bigoted, homophobic, transphobic and anti-woman - and enormously triggering - to refer to women as non-prostate owners, when they could just as easily refer to men as non-uterus owners.

I personally don't see anything wrong with referring to men as men and women as women.

You know, the XY XX thing.

OR, we could just forget all this silly nonsense altogether and call them men and women, as has been the case across the breadth of history among Hoomin Beans.

It ain't that complicated.
